Eastern Catholics on medjugorje

[Alexander_Roman]

Alex,

I’ve been thinking about your answer regarding how all religions can be dear. But that still does not answer for groups like Satanists, and since the Apparition never explains that religion is restricted to those seeking God, i.e. Good, it could be argued that the word religion would include satanists. What say you, Patriarch of Western Canada?

The devil, you say . . .

Well, this is putting it on the horns of a dilemma . . . And the title of Patriarch of Western Canada is reserved for yourself, should you ever come to British Columbia, my son!

I’m not involved in the investigation of Medjugorje, but if the Church, as the only competent Authority, declares these apparitions to be valid, then I think we can give Our Lady the benefit of the doubt in this matter!

Note from Moderator:

Out of respect for the Bishop of Mostar and his request to not further discuss or promote the alleged apparitions of Medjugorje, Catholic Answers Forums has included it in the Banned Topics list since June, 2006. Before that time, it was included on the list because of its status as a private revelation without approval from the church, so discussion was limited to the church’s stance on the alleged apparitions. Bishop Ratko Perić has since clarified the church’s stance, which the Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls supported and defended. Therefore, there is nothing further to discuss specific to Medjugorje that cannot already by located through a search of the boards.

This thread is now closed.

May God Bless You Abundantly,
